The madness that is spreading through the land is coming to New Jersey second-graders: seven- and eight-year-olds with the misfortune of having to attend public schools will be forced this fall to learn all the latest fashionable insanity about how boys may really be girls and vice versa, setting up some of them to destroy their lives in the ensuing years. This is child abuse on a grand scale, otherwise known as a “modern-day public school education.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Predictably, it gets even worse. According to Fox News, “the standards listed ‘performance expectations’ for second graders, which includes discussing ‘the range of ways people express their gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior.’” This range, of course, includes all of today’s officially sanctioned insanity, and the standards do everything they can to break down a child’s emerging sense of the differences between the sexes.
The child abuse starts as early as possible: “One lesson plan, ‘Purple, Pink and Blue,’ instructs teachers to talk to their first graders about gender identity, and its first objective is to have the students be able to define ‘gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes.’” First-graders. And once these child victims have mastered the concept of “gender identity,” it’s on to gender fluidity: “The lesson’s second objective is to have students name ‘at least two things they’ve been taught about gender role stereotypes and how those things may limit people of all genders.’”
What on earth do first- and second-graders know about gender role stereotypes? Whatever they may know or not know, in New Jersey public schools they’re going to be breaking it down and filling their young charges’ heads with nonsense. A lesson plan states: “Gender identity is that feeling of knowing your gender. You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts. And you might not feel like you’re a boy or a girl, but you’re a little bit of both. No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal!” Anything and everything is “perfectly normal,” except, of course, believing that boys are boys and girls are girls and that one cannot become the other, or, for that matter, be a bit of boy and a bit of girl.

Fox notes that “another lesson plan for second graders, ‘Understanding Our Bodies,’ tells teachers to instruct students that ‘there are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have.’ Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people this is how their bodies are. Most people have a vulva and a vagina or a penis and testicles, but some people’s bodies can be different. Your body is exactly what is right for you.” This is a needless and irresponsible complication of something that is actually quite simple: actually having male body parts does mean that you’re a boy, and having female body parts means that you’re a girl. But clearly, that’s the agenda here: to sow confusion that can be exploited to recruit more transgenders and normalize defiant rejection of unwelcome realities.

I see only three choices for parents:
1. Move to a conservative school district.
2. Send your child to a conservative private school.
3. Homeschool.

Seconded, James.
What is so terribly sad and tragic is that the American public educational system around 1950 was arguably the best in the world. Now, it is not only massively deficient but horribly destructive.
Child abuse is just about the worst abuse of all and the modern American public educational system (often supported, I’m sorry to say, by many private educational systems in America like those of the Catholics and Quakers) is contributing to this malevolency due to Leftism, and aided by indefensible apathy and ignorance by a plethora of non-Leftists.
When the youth of a country is being horribly educated and abused, it betokens no good hope for the future. This is what is happening right now in America and time is way overdue, way overdue, to take back education of America’s youth from the creeps, the ignoramuses and the decrepit who are now in charge of education.
Lose the youth of a nation, you lose everything. Yes, this dire. And it is happening right before our eyes in our time. Beyond tragic. Actually, suicidal. It’s a slow motion destruction of the greatest political configuration in man’s history. But then, this is the point of the Soros’ and Gates’ out there (the modern Democratic Party too), whose pawns in this destructive effort include a bevy of teachers and administrators in the present school systems of America. Nothing, absolutely nothing, for all those who can still see, could be clearer.

Another deadly philosophy/doctrine is budding.
The philosophies and doctrines of men in the 19th century caused untold damage in the following century. Charles Darwin in his “Survival of the fittest” eventually led to Eugenics and foundation of Nazi doctrine.
Then you have Karl Marx with his “Das Kapital” which eventually led to Marxism and the Soviet Union.
The 20th century gets leader types like Hitler. Stalin, Pot Pol, et al, that embraced these philosophies religiously, resulting in disaster. We are still suffering from the philosophies of the 19th century today.
The 21st century spawns the ideas of the LGBTQ+ and Rainbow movement with its gender fluidity, tampering of children’s school books and the robbing of their childhood and minds. What judgment will these new doctrines bring this century?
If Israel drinks the cup of judgment, when trampling on God’s laws and turning it upside down, then all other nations that do the same will certainly drink it too.
“5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?” (Jeremiah 2.5, 5:22, 6:15, 25:28, Isa 40:15)

Some good points, Hank. But the idea that “the survival of the fittest” means “dominance of the most brutal” is quite mistaken. Darwin never said any such thing.
And brutality *much* predates Charles Darwin.

Get Your Kids Out of There: New Jersey to Force Second-Graders to Learn Explicit Details About ‘Gender Identity’
………………..
Utterly nuts.
tgusa says
The left seem to have an unhealthy obsession with sex and sexuality. They must be severely lacking something in their own personal lives and so they force themselves in to places they have no right to be.
Dear creepy leftists,
Get a life, get a clue, get a room. Let people who choose to, figure it all out for themselves as humans on Earth have done, forever. Keep your hands off the children and let children be children. Many people will have enough to deal with after they become adults. And one last thing, stay very far away from adults personal lives. Most of us don’t want to know or hear about your personal lives.
